well how do i go about re-enabling inetd. inetd.conf no longer loads upon
startup. i realized this once i installed and wasn't able to telnet or ftp
in (good thing i also use ssh). i got both telnet and ftp working under
tcpserver, but identd doesn't work still. i'd love to get inetd working
again just for identd (since i know it works there).
thanks again,
james

You don't have to choose between inetd and tcpserver; you can use them both.
Use inetd for services like ident and ftpd and telnet, and use tcpserver for
SMTP and POP and so forth. tcpserver doesn't prevent inetd from working.
